rough idle and pcm reflash

ok so im taking my car into the dealer tom. to get the new flash that makes the car pump more oil and what not, do you guys think the new flash could help my idle problem? my car idles really low like 750's then kinda bounces up to a grand then bank down. i have factory airbox w/ both screens, the car dont die but sometimes i think its going to. and has anyone had the new flash? does it feel like you get any more power or regained some power?

So you don't think it could be any of them fnacy schmancy things added to the car?

Sounds like a vacuum leak.

no when i bought my car 2 years ago w/ 19k miles on it completley stock it idled funny if anything it has gotten a little better. its not a horrible rough idle just not normal ide say. i dont think my car has ever had a new flash though so maybe this will help. Actually after i put my mazport ignition in and new stock plugs it helped it a tid bit. I will though check my vacuum line that i plugged maybe i didnt get it plugged all the way. thanks for the advice.
